The fund targets a select group of global stocks that have historically exhibited lower volatility compared to the broader global equity universe, aiming to provide a smoother return profile for investors. Managed by BlackRock's experienced Global Allocation Team, the fund blends macroeconomic research, fundamental security selection, and quantitative screening techniques to construct its portfolio. Core investment criteria include relative value, growth at a reasonable price (GARP), consistency, quality, and market sentiment.

Serving as a core equity holding, it is designed to support diversified portfolios by reducing potential drawdowns during periods of market stress and seeking incremental outperformance relative to minimum volatility equity benchmarks.
